For tragedies we come together, Though not for long. The fire of intimacy Intimidates, chars fragile façades. Blood bonds over-stretched, Anemic. Silent months pass, when Tentative tentacles reach out, But do not touch. Reliving a past of life bond’s Dilution revived in hard times. The falsity of our closeness Buried in shared grief for a moment. Familiarity creeps in with Sinuous connective threads suggesting safety. Yet these are taut,...

Indie swizz Green and white On top of hills A view unlike A tale of heaven, a place to repent Now is none but a grave of men, The song of winds turned to echoes of mist, The crown of hind, now blood missed Quite waters, a red fountain Land of joy now weeps with mothers' cries A...

She wore a ribbon red as flame, he carved her secret in his name. They danced beneath the open skies, with stars like lanterns in their eyes. The campfire laughed, the horses swayed, the fiddles sang while nightbirds prayed. Their vows were stitched with whispered thread, "Till death," they swore, "no tears to shed." But Fortune's wheel turned rough and wild-- the lawman came...

The world feeds on tragedy, with an insatiable hunger for misfortune, They demand confessions, not out of care, but to dissect and devour the soul, When I reveal my pain, their eyes become glassy with disgust, And their pity drips like acid on my open and bleeding wounds. Perhaps that's why I've made my sadness a "nameless grave," A place...

The true love of Motherhood is not for the weak. They speak of the joys and the toys But not of the lies and goodbyes. A part of you dies with the sound of the first infant cries, You will give it your all and they will still fall. The true love of Motherhood is rather bleak. They don’t speak of the pain of your...

There are two sides to my buddy, heartless and friendly. But if you stretch it to three there's diplomatically deadly. Heartless and deadly, it doesn't translate at all exactly, that she's mean and cruel, It's just that I can be forgettable. When friendly is lost in heartless, I fall into a Shakespearean tragedy. My emotions start to cut me into countless feelings, "To be, or not to...

Never knew senses could deceive until now, seeing a bright I scurry . Nirvana makes my imagination go mere gesture. where I lay unaware of raucous voice , Is this the locus? A dear face I recognize, charming as allure itself . I believed as we cross paths again, wonder gets my most reflecting how u did. My dear, embrace me as first-ever. Must I...

The incentive to write the following verses came from my thoughts at the moment the 'president' addressed the country about the tragedy that took place over DC. The night many witnessed a collision over Washington, DC A terrible fate and loss of lives. It could've been you or me. "Acceptable" the description of traffic control at that hour Then,...

They love creating chaos that's their plan. Look at the wild fires out West, here we go again! Devastating families with no end in sight. Canceling their fire insurance, as their homes burn bright! No water in the fire hydrants, can you imagine that? The Controllers planned it that way, such an evil act! Chaos they love and they love to...
